Wow!

Jennifer Lopez just made it to the top of the highly regarded “Worlds Most Powerful Celebrity” list by Forbes, beating famed host Oprah and the world’s famed teen pop star Justin Bieber.

But does she deserve it? Forbes’ criteria for the “Worlds Most Powerful Celebrity List” is no joke, as they consider the star’s income, media visibility and social media presence. Oprah definitely beats JLo in the money department and Justin is still the second most followed person on Twitter (next to Lady Gaga) and is still almost too famous on YouTube, where he was first discovered.

But the veteran singer and “American Idol” judge continues to have multiple endorsement deals, has a clothing and fragrance line and did earn $52 milllion just last year. She’s also active on Twitter… So what can we say?

With her on the top spot, she beats the following celebrities:

1. Jennifer Lopez

2. Oprah Winfrey

3. Justin Bieber

4. Rihanna

5. Lady Gaga

6. Britney Spears

7. Kim Kardashian

8. Katy Perry

9. Tom Cruise

10. Stephen Spielberg

Lots of surprises here, but the facts have spoken.

What do you think? Does JLo deserve to be on top?

The glamorous diva made sure to outdo the rest of her female co-stars—like Elizabeth Banks, who wore a wine red frock by Alexander McQueen, or model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker, who looked like a beach babe in a Giambattista Valli maxi dress—on the red carpet by wearing a plunging Maria Lucia Hohan gown.

To add some signature sparkle to her outfit, J.Lo paired the dress with Sergio Rossi crystallized booties, a thin Swarovski clutch, and an assortment of Jacqueline Nerguizian jewels.

Smokey eyes, a low ponytail, and a dark berry lipstick finished the look.

Huh?

JLo fears that newbie “X Factor” judges Britney and Demi will initially have quite a hard time on the show, just like she had during her first few months as a female judge on “Idol” alongside Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler.

Jennifer admits to ET Online:

“I feel a little scared for [Britney and Demi] ’cause I was scared when I started.”

However, the veteran pop star is still confident that the younger pop stars can manage the pressure:

“It’s live TV – there’s a lot of pressure that goes with it – but I think they’ll do great. They’ve both been in the spotlight since they were very young, so they’ll be fine.”

So what advice does JLo have for the two former Disney child stars? She continues:

“Just be yourself. I think it’s just about really being your true self, not trying to be something that you’re not.”

Do you think JLo‘s right? Will Britney and Demi do great on “X Factor”?

This again?

Lopez joined the judges’ table on “American Idol” in 2010 following the departure of previous judges Paula Abdul, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi. But after just one season, the “Dance Again” singer revealed that she had doubts about returning for the next season.

As we all know, J.Lo ended up coming back for the show’s 11th season anyway.

But will she return for the singing competition’s next season?

Jennifer admits on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”:

“I don’t know.”

She adds:

“I enjoy it. I really do enjoy it… [but] I miss doing other things. It really does lock you down.”

Another reason Jennifer might not be able to return to the show? Her 4-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

She shares:

“Now they’re getting more mobile. They’re about to go to school… I just don’t know. I don’t know.”

Okay, is she going to do this every season?

Check her out:

The “Dance Again” singer, who performed a steamy number on the “Idol” stage this week with boyfriend (and new choreographer) Casper Smart, brought some serious sparkle to the show in a gorgeous, figure-hugging Reem Acra number, which featured a gradient of sequins going from white to silver to black.

Lopez completed the outfit with black Gianmarco Lorenzi pumps, sparkling hoop earrings, and a chunky white gold bangle.

Beauty-wise, J.Lo opted for a dramatically swooped updo and pale bubblegum pink lips.

Howard who?

Radio personality Howard Stern was quick to comment on Britney Spears‘ upcoming judging stint on “X Factor,” which she finally signed on for more than $15 million dollars thanks to the very determined Simon Cowell.

And what does Stern think of pop star as the new judge of Simon‘s show?

The soon-to-be replacement judge for “America’s Got Talent” said during a press conference last night:

“Well, I think it’s a wonderful decision, you know, Britney still thinks the earth is flat.”

He explained:

“I think we’re going to tune in to see… if she can sort of function through this thing, right? As far as any real criticism, I think that Simon [Cowell] and L.A. Reid will be doing that.”

The self-confessed “King of all Media” even name-dropped the female ”American Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez during his blast:

“I think Britney’s going to stand there and eat a lollypop and you know, wear a sexy outfit. I don’t anticipate great opinions from her. I think she’s going to sit there like J.Lo and ‘Oh, do you think I can get a perfume endorsement out of this?’”

Stern concluded:

“I’ll tune in to see what kind of train wreck she is, absolutely.”

Double ouch!

Not only would this insult Britney and JLo but also Simon‘s ability to select a deserving judge.

Jennifer, who turned packed on the PDA with her boyfriend, Casper, in the music video of her new single “Dance Again,”—which was criticized for the orgy scenes—showed just how strong her chemistry with her favorite dancer was on the stage of “American Idol” last night.

The couple performed a sexy dance routine and got frisky in the middle of the “American Idol” judge’s seasonal performance, which her now-estranged husband Marc Anthony was a part of last year.

Star news certainly thinks that she just might be…

Jennifer already has her hands full with her 4-year-old twins Max and Emme, but with her and Smart getting more and more serious, is she already playing with the possibility of bearing another with him?

The “American Idol” judge told PEOPLE of the idea of having more kids:

“It would be a blessing.”

Lopez, who had separated from her ex-husband Marc Anthony last year, continued:

“Every day … they just bring so much joy and happiness to your life, [and] they just bring you right back down to earth.”

But with her busy career, she also admits that being a single mom is definitely not a piece of cake:

“I’ve got my hands full. There’s the guilt that comes along with it. You leave and they go, ‘Don’t go to work, Mommy!’”

So how does Jen plan to do it? She will continue to put her kids first, of course.

She tells the site:

“That’s my philosophy. So as long as that’s … working in the right way, then I can dedicate whatever time I need to dedicate to my career. You just do the best you can, and say no when you have to say no.”

Fortunately she has a lot of help, as she reveals:

“I have a lot of great people in my life who help … at work and at home. I have a great family – so all together – we do it. It takes a village.”

So having another with Smart—at the right time, of course—shouldn’t be too much work, would it?

Would you want JLo to have a baby with Smart?

There better be a talent fee discount!

Casper Smart is more than lucky to be Jennifer Lopez‘s semi-famous boy toy—he gets to show off his super famous Latina girlfriend, gets invited to lavish Hollywood parties, gets featured in her music videos… and even gets some cash in the process!

When the “American Idol” judge told Hollywood news that her world tour will include Enrique Iglesias and Wisin Y Yandel, she mentioned how her boyfriend will be doing more than just supporting her shows, saying:

“I’m working with [choreographer] Jamie King, and also Casper Smart.”

She added:

“It’s going to be an amazing, amazing show.”

Now that’s a lot of trust stemming from a short six month relationship! But seeing just how well they mesh together, it’s good that they can remain professional and dedicated to their crafts.

Now the question is, will JLo be paying Casper? ‘Coz that would be just weird!

What do you think?

The fabulous fashionista and “American Idol” judge rocked a tri-color Lanvin dress, which featured a beautiful, crystal-embellished snake going up from the left side of the dress and around the neckline.

Sky-high Giuseppe Zanotti ankle-strap platform pumps completed the look.

Beauty-wise, Lopez went with a messy ponytail, bronzed cheeks, and glossy lips.

What do you think? Did J.Lo rock this look?

See for yourself:

After stepping out in a very revealing dress on Wednesday, the “Dance Again” singer decided to rock a vastly different, more conservative look on Thursday’s episode.

J.Lo was fun and flirty in a white cowl-neck Balenciaga top, high-waist seafoam green Milly pants, and chunky black Giuseppe Zanotti shoes.

She accessorized the look with a thin blue belt, gold hoop earrings, and bracelets by Pomellato and Sydney Evan.

Check out how hot she looks:

J.Lo’s super tight abs definitely stole the show on “American Idol” this week!

The sultry Latina, who is always rocking gorgeous outfits on the judge’s panel, was dressed in a metallic silver gray Herve Leger dress with torso cutouts, nude Giuseppe Zanotti heels, and bracelets by Pomellato and Renee Sheppard.

A half-up, half-down hairstyle, smokey eyes, and glossy nude lips finished Lopez’s sexy look.

Some people think J.Lo took it a little too far with the sexiness, but we think she looks amazing.

Do you agree?

Kim Kardashian has an extensive array of sexy and expensive designer clothes but it doesn’t stop her from wanting to raid other style icons’ wardrobes, namely Jennifer Lopez‘s and Madonna‘s.

We would understand why she would want to incorporate Jennifer‘s daring and elegant style into her own, but Madonna‘s unpredictable and eccentric style? We’re not quite sure…

Kim admitted to Us Weekly:

“I would love to raid so many celebrities’ closets, but I think Jennifer Lopez‘s would be amazing.”

She also added:

“I think Madonna‘s closet would be amazing, just all the pieces she’s had for many years.”

Why would anyone want to wear Jennifer‘s mile-long dresses and Madonna‘s age-old hand me downs when you can buy and recreate any piece of clothing that you want?

However, the reality star admits that whatever she wears will never be good enough without confidence:

“If you’re not feeling it, you’re not going to look sexy.”

Would you want to raid their closets too?

Apparently, the reason why Marc Anthony finally decided to file for divorce was because he found out that J.Lo, whom he had been hoping to reconcile with someday, was already head-over-heels in love with her boyfriend, Casper Smart.

Which of course means that Lopez has no interest in dropping him anytime soon.

However, despite the fact that Marc was the one who filed the docs, sources close to the singer reveal to TMZ that he and Jennifer made the decision together.

TMZ reports:

“…[Marc] didn’t make the decision on his own — he had a heart-to-heart with J.Lo a few weeks back to see if she really, truly wanted to end the marriage.”

The site adds:

“We’re told he said he wanted to give the marriage another try, but Jennifer confessed … she was deeply in love with Casper … and wanted to pursue that relationship.”

Ouch.

But we doubt Marc’s too torn up about it… after all, he has a smoking hot model girlfriend to comfort him.

How lucky!

Jennifer Sanchez was the least favored singer on “American Idol” on Thursday’s elimination… at least she was, before the show’s judge Jennifer Lopez stormed on stage with Randy Jackson and Steve Tyler in tow to save the wannabe singer.

The three judges were utterly shocked and disappointed as soon as Sanchez was announced to be on the bottom three in the demanding competition, so they decided to use their one-time-per-season “save card” to rescue Jessica from being booted out.

Sanchez had just started singing her “last” song when Lopez grabbed the mic from her, exclaiming:

“Gimme that mic! This is crazy! You ain’t going home! Go sit down, go sit down!”

Jackson explained to the crowd:

“We are saving Jessica without any doubt. Lemme just say this for myself, Steve and Jennifer, this girl is one of the best singers in America… ever! Are you kidding me? Please, everybody. Please vote for the best. It’s about finding the best. I mean, come on!”

They call over Sanchez to join them and host Ryan Seacrest asked if she was surprised to be on the bottom three, to which she humbly replied:

“No, I mean, I don’t expect anything. I just do what I do and, you know, what happens happens. I just want people to know that I’ve worked hard my whole life.”

We love her… Why would America vote her out?

Watch the big moment right here:

Who would’ve guessed that he’d be the one to file first?

After many months of being separated—and finding new rebounds each in the process—the Jennifer Lopez-Marc Anthony divorce has finally (and officially) been set in motion.

The soon-to-be-former Mr. Jennifer Lopez, who is currently dating Venezuelan model Shannon de Lima, filed divorce docs on Monday, April 9 at the L.A. County Superior Court, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for ending the marriage.

He is also asking for joint legal and physical custody of their twins, Emme and Max.

Oh, and not that it matters since J.Lo is worth quite a lot, but Anthony also asked the judge to reject any requests for spousal support from his estranged wife.

We wonder how Jennifer feels about Marc beating her to the punch?

Days before J.Lo debuted her music video, which featured her backup dancer and boyfriend Casper Smart, people already knew that it would be a bit… well, risqué. After all, the Latina diva posted video stills on her official website, which showed her getting frisky with Casper while playing with a blindfold in one, and surrounded by half-naked people (the infamous orgy scene) in another.

So why is everyone acting like she didn’t warn them?

According to reports, a lot of people are displeased with the “Dance Again” video’s blatant sexual imagery, as well as Lopez’s racy antics… and they are even more displeased about the fact that the hyper-sexualized video was shown on “American Idol,” which many consider to be a family-friendly show.

Dan Gainor, the vice president of business and culture of the Media Research Center’s Culture Media Institute, told Gossip Cop:

“[Jennifer Lopez's] new orgy video is a typical example of why parents have found there are few family-friendly programs on TV.”

He added:

“If even ‘American Idol’ can’t be trusted, is there anything appropriate for families anymore?”

Do you agree that J.Lo‘s video was too racy to be shown on “American Idol”?

See for yourself:

Jennifer Lopez wore Lanvin for the second time this week.

The “Dance Again” singer was lovely in a gray animal print dress, black ankle-strap Christian Loubotin heels, a gold necklace and cuffs by Celine, and gold stud earrings.

J.Lo finished the look with a topknot, smokey eye makeup, and pale, frosted pink lipstick.

See for yourself:

Lopez was impeccably dressed (as always) in a white top with shoulder pads, a silver lamé skirt with a thigh-high slit, and a pair of gray and black ankle-strap heels, all by Lanvin.

The “American Idol” judge accessorized with a 55-carat yellow diamond ring, diamond necklaces, and a gold cuff.

J.Lo finished the look with voluminous waves, natural eye makeup, and a pink lip color.

Don’t you just love her style? She’s so fabulous!

After releasing tantalizing teaser photos showing her and Smart getting frisky with a blindfold, Lopez finally debuted her new music video for “Dance Again” on “American Idol.”

Reasons to watch it? Well, aside from the fact that you get to see a half-naked Jennifer Lopez in practically every frame, the video also showcases steamy moments between her and her new boy toy, tons of glitter (if you’re into that sort of thing), and a gravity-defying orgy.

Oh, and Pitbull’s in it, too.
